October 2010 brides (and grooms!)

Hi Ladies

We're getting married 23/10/10 (399 days to go according to my confetti coutdown!!) so far we have booked the room for the ceremoney, registrar's, toast after ceremoney, reception venue & dj.

OH has picked out the suits for him, 2 brothers and 2 page boys. My mum is fab at cake making so she has been roped in for that, OH's uncle is doing photos and has offered us the use of his dad's Bentley and my 2 friends that work in the marketing dept have already designed the save the date cards (which have been given out or posted!) and will be sorting out the rest of the staionary designs.

I have an idea of the type of dress for my sister as my bridesmaid but to be honest as long as she's reasonably covered up and it claret I'll pretty much let her pick what she wants. I've also seen a dress for my flowergirl although she will only be 13 months old so we don't expect her to walk down the aisle!! think thats all the decisions that have been made so far..... I've looked at styles for my dress but want to lose weight first before trying any on!!

Yesterday at wedding fair, found lovely rings, got sized and had phone call today to say all ordered! Chuffed as well on budget at £400! (budget was £500)

Cake looks sorted to, just to decide what flavour top cake we want!
http://www.elegantcakes.co.uk/ Its the melina one, rubbish picture here though, looks WOW in real life! And came in well under budget at £180 for 30 cup cakes and top cake! (budget was £300)

If I don't get it organised quickly, then H2B will have a stroke with the amount of worrying he is doing!!! Anybody would think he thinks its a royal wedding the way he goes on!

The general theme appears that if the person offering the service seems slightly nuts, they get our cash :rotfl:
Photographer is husband and wife team, wife is from deep south of USA and (imagine the accent now) says thing like 'you all getting excited yet??' Wedding planner at hotel is utterly bonkers but brilliant! Lady who is making the cake is mad as a box of frogs and the lady we'd like to do the flowers says (her own words) 'Make sure you spare two hours for the consult, I do like to talk a lot' Must be something in the water in Sussex :rotfl::rotfl:
